"Wide Receiver" by Mark Halliday : The Poetry Foundation

Do I want to watch
the Super Bowl? I'd rather

                 --Monty Gilmer

Nevertheless, here is a poem about football among other things. Read Wide Receiver by Mark Halliday : The Poetry Foundation: "In the huddle you said “Go long—get open” / and at the snap I took off along the right sideline / and then cut across left in a long arc / and I’m sure I was open at several points— [ ... ]" Listen to a recording of Mark Halliday reading this poem of his.
